Video 42.2 On the left side, a 3D hologram of the left ventricular (LV), including the LV outflow tract, is shown

On the left side, a 3D hologram of the left ventricular (LV), including the LV outflow tract, is shown. On the right side a “bull’s eye” representation of 16 LV segments is shown, valuable for assessment of regional wall motion abnormalities. In the lower left, the values of the automatically calculated LV volumes and ejection fraction are shown. The color bar, at the far right side of the videoclip, indicates timing of the contraction. An even color during the cardiac cycle - as in this patient - indicates synchronous contraction and relaxation. In case of dyssynchrony of one or more segments, these segments will show up immediately in a different color, enabling instantaneous recognition of delayed segments.
